Mistakes will occur, no matter how
careful person M be. This journal
made serious error short time since.
in stating that seven analyses OF ore
taken from the Caledonia mine, aver
aged in iron, 6256 per cent. and 044s
in phosphorus, and the same article in
which the mistake was made claimed the
ore Bessemer The per cent. OF phos-
phorus, instead OF .O44S, should have
read O4S. There is no doubt but that
the ore produced at the Caledonia is a
Bessemer, as twenty analyses taken
from different parts of the mine, and at
different times, extending over a year,
show an average in phosphorus OF OBJ
and over sixty per cent. in metallic iron
Any oneat all acquainted with the re-
quirements Of iron ore 70 be within the
Bessema limits, would see at once that
it could not possibly be that grade OF
ore and carry .O44S per cent. OF phos-
porus, md would also know that il was
either done TO give the property "black
eye" OF was a pure and simple mistake,
which hitter was the case, as the editor
Of thisjournal has no desire TO injure
any property in this district, Tor any
other) and much less one so promising
as the Caledonia. It is the opinion Of
the wiiter, based on all Information
GATHERED, that this mine viii eventually
become one Of the best producing prop
critics h this district, he certainly wishes
good things for il and its gentlemanly
owners.
A correspondent has written this
paper asking whether the flattering
statenrnts which have been made by
the parties interested i'm the Kimball
mine, are true. The Tribune il unable
Co give an opinion OF the property with
out thoroughly examining il, and as the
property IL located at Crystal Falls,
Mich, (perhaps 100 miles from Hurley
we ds not feel inclined TO look the matter
up fd the correspondent.

The sditor of this journal does not know
the nature of the "nattering statement"
madt by parties interested in the proper
ty, hht one thing he does know and that
il that the Kimball mine is looking ms
well is any new property could be ex-
pecta TO, and an excellent quality OF
ore being taken out. The Kimball is
bounl 10 become one Of the solid institu-
tions OF this Range, and stockholders
shoud have no reason TO entertain fears
Of ID future, which certainly looks very
briat.

Th9shaft now being worked is down
abdit twenty-five feet, the ledge is some
two feet lower as demonstrated by
drisng nm iron rod through the sand
with the shaft penetrates. In 1882
considerable exploring was done ON the
property, which enables thepresent oper-

tina il will be found before many days.
